This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred or just link the content in the body of the post.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

6. Banned Source(s)/Websites.

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

WrestleVotes
RingSideNews
Brad Shepard
Billi Bhatti and "The Dirty Sheets"
Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.

Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

Twitter/X (Please use Nitter, xcancel, or submit a screenshot if you are unable to source a non Twitter/X url)

Any posts/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

I'm still irrationally annoyed about this one. The whole "risk vs reward" thing is dead these days because everyone's a spot monkey and it sucks because I used to love that sort of thing when we didn't see it 10 times every show, maybe I'm just getting old. That should have won him the match, or, since he missed, ended it for him. Once he hit the ground that should have been it, do not move again. But no they have to stick to the plan instead of telling an actual in-ring story so he jumps straight back up, gets into the ring and then gets attacked. What's the point?

Kamitani vs Nakano was robbed 😒

Most Regressed should have gone to Ricochet's hairline.

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

That was way before 2025.

[–] Pwalabwa@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

Well, you kinda need a hairline for it to regress 😛
